Oh agreed. And as others have noted she'd be furious if (when :dance:) we actually took her advice and ran third party in competitive races.

On the one hand that would be rad, on the other hand there are very few things funnier than establishment politicians getting suckerpunched in primaries they didn't even think to campaign in.

Republican party seems to be an easier target for entryism, honestly. No superdelegate system, for example, and their candidates are even less popular and thus easier to primary.

often the democratic parties outside of the cities are hilariously easy to get in.

lee had no opposition in the primary, two candidates tried to make it when it was clear a leftist was running. one with withdrew due to five figures of unpaid taxes being revealed in the local paper while the other couldn’t throw together a real campaign

Half the conservative lingo is just stolen from the left anyway. Get the republican nod, send out a bunch of fundraisers about fighting the liberals in congress who are trying to take from the people who work for a living and give it all to their moocher friends, and then use the money to go after the capitalist class. :getin:

If you would like it, please quote this post along side proof of a donation of sufficient quantity. Proof can be simply quoting an older post you made previously that itself contained donation proof, or if you are a new donor that wants it, quote this post alongside proof of that donation.

Since DE effectively doesn't have a DSA (we do, but it's not really functioning as far as I can tell), can I talk about other groups here? I know of one that needs people, but I don't know how many other C-SPAM people are stuck in the hell that is DE like myself.

Our meeting last night was packed! Electoral victory and positive news coverage of our brake light clinic probably helped a bit. I even managed to convince a friend to come along, and she signed up for the femsoc working group almost immediately. Operation Radicalize All My Friends is underway!

I don't know how to radicalize anyone. I don't think I'd be very good at it because I am mostly good at arguing things point by point which I gather is not very effective.

it starts with shared commiseration. figure out what problems you have in common with the other person and relate how capitalism is causing them

It's easier with your friends because you have a good idea already of their struggles, so you'll have an idea where to start. My friend is already heavy into feminism, so her ears perked up when she heard that socfem wg were going after those fake "pregnancy clinics" fundamentalists set up.

there's some groups in the dsa working on doing trainings around emotional 1 on 1 conversations. that's one of the best ways to radicalize/agitate someone into getting started.

Someone posted their guide to yelling "praxis" at people as they walk away, so I think I should be good on that count.

Hell yes, glad you persisted. If you think the problem was on their end let them know--I've found the tech people to be pretty responsive.

In exciting factional news, Spark Caucus decided it was basically the same as Refoundation and voted to dissolve/merge into the latter. If you're a DSA Marxist who wants a clean break from the Democrats, Refoundation is the place to be.
